I'm not sure those aliases will be super useful... Maybe []?

@GuillaumeGomez [] is already used for slices: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/?search=%5B%5D. Is it possible to have two different types with the same alias?

Ok, I changed [;] to []. I still think [T; N] is useful because it's used in the documentation a lot.

Maybe keep [;] too then? XD
